Glock 19 mags

The mag spring is very stiff. You can only load 9 rounds. The ninth round is really tough to load..

Ordered three, failures with one

I ordered three of these for use in IDPA. I marked the mags and went shooting. Of the three Ive had three failures using two different kinds of ammo on magazine number one. The other two have ran without issue. Of the three failures one was failure to feed and the other two were locked back slide with ammo still in the magazine. Im torn on how to rate these because the first mag has a far too high failure rate but the other two have not failed. I also have not put the volume of rounds through mags two and three as I have one so I dont know if this is an isolated incident or not. I will be sticking with factory mags from now on for competition and saving these for range days. I would not trust these for personal defense.

Well made but a few drawbacks

Overall, very well made product and I like the price.. Lighter than factory Glocks. No problems so far shooting. About 1/4" longer than factory due to removal able floor plate. Wasn't expecting that. Lastly, much stronger spring. Definitely need a mechanical assist to get #14 and #15 in. Perhaps will loosen up with time.
